reboot reboot reboot

I have installed ss2005 and now I want to change some things (add the
AdventureWorks dbs). On one machine it worked fine but on the other System
Configuration Check keeps getting a reboot required message that says...
"A previous installation required a reboot of the machine for changes to
take effect. To proceed, restart your computer and then run SQL Server
Setup again."
So, I reboot but it keeps getting the same message. What can I do?
Tinn ManI presume that there is an installation issue.
and at every reboot, Sql server starts and detect a file problem, like a
missing or worng DLL, then the installer starts a repair process.
when the reinstallation is done, the system ask for a reboot.
but this reinstallation doesn't works really fine and at every reboot the
same event occurs.
you'll see some installer event log in the windows log if the installer
starts himself.
Try to reinstall SQL server interactively to catch some installation issues.
stop any SQL services , reboot, see if the installer starts, then do a clean
install or repair process.
